My Power Upgrade Plan

[Guest INASNT]

Ok I been wanting to do this for a long time to my car so here’s the plan for my 250rwkw’s

This is what I have budgeted for each part.

1 x New turbo (GCG rebuild or custom garrett) - $2000

1 x Z32 AFM - $300

6 x 500-600cc injectors - $700

1 x Bosch 044 fuel pump - $250

1 x New clutch (what would be good for 250rwkw + drivability in heavy traffic? thinking twin plate or organic) - $800

1 x PFC ECU - $1450

1 x S/S intake pipe - $100

1 x EBC - $650

Things I am unsure about are weather I should get

1 or 2 x adj cam gears - $250 each (do I need 2?)

2 x new cams - $??

I also plan to sell my old parts when I change everything over.

1 x stock turbo - $450

1 x stock afm - $150

6 x stock injectors - $300

1 x stock fuel pump - $100

1 x stock clutch - $250

1 x stock ecu - $250

1 x 2 stage boost controller - $230

are these prices around what I can buy/sell at?

Also for installing/removing all these parts how many man hours/$$ should I leave for this? I have the $$ for most of the parts at the moment but will probably buy a few at a time.

Sounds like you have a good plan their !

Just make sure you upgrade the parts in order so you dont have to tune and retune.

[Guest INASNT]

i will install all at once so only 1 tune will be necessary

[meggala]

sounds great inasnt

thats all you need you only need one cam gear forget the cams for now 1k + for them.

If you go gcg go the stage 2 at least.

go the organic clutch much easier on the foot.

every thing else sounds good.

try to make your power @ aroudn 1 bar of boost so tell gcg that when you order the turbo you might get some lagg but it will be better for engine life

cheers

1k for a cam?? fark!

ices turbo guy said he can bulid me a new garrett turbo for the power i am after, and yes i dont want to pump more that 18 or o psi into the stock engine.

How hard to u think it will be to sell my stock stuff?

[browny]

I thought I saw a note on the gcg site that said their hiflow units were changeover - might pay to check before you sell your existing turbo

[lowlux]

yup around 1k for a set of cams, thats why im trying to get my work to start grinding them

my billets will soon be in and then ill play around with some cams in my car

INASNT,

Got any ideas on what the car's intended purpose will be? (there could be a few other mods in that case un-related to power output you would do better spending money on).

[doxximus]

whats the gcg site wouldnt mind having a look?

[Guest INASNT]

i was thinking lightened flywheel 2, and the purpose is for a low 12 sec pass/sick burnouts and a few track/street runs in the mix!

I been wanting to build a nice fast car for a long time now and now i have the $$ i intend to do it.

[rev210]

yeah the flywheel is good.

get your self 11's if you go for a turbo combo thats good for helping the motor make 400HP. The turbo will be rated at 450HP max flow I guess as a rule of thumb.

Some good rear tyres would be worth while. Apparently ford falcons have the same PCD on their rims. That means Mickey T's on a set of old 14inch ford mags for the drags, so you can do 'street tyre' passes.

[Guest INASNT]

yeah turbo i am going for is a 450odd hp 1.

I got 255 17's at the back but they r shit for calder park drags.

if the ford pcd is the same as the skyline then that would b sweet.

[BU5TER]

Yep the pre Ford AU rims are the same PCD so thats EA, EB, ED, EF, EL and then they changed in the AU's.......Brett

INASNT,

just what you might want and at a very good price also.

btw, sounds like a very nice plan but i'd stay away from the twin-plate clutch if it's a daily driver.

[Guest INASNT]

had a look at that guys add on this forum 2.

only thing with second hand stuff is, what if it blows in a month or so?

as for the clutch what would u suggest?

[RS500]

that's fair enough INASNT although i guess you can get the turbo and wastegate checked out by a turbo specialist and if at the worst case, a turbo rebuild will only cost around $400.

wastegates don't usually stuff up, so that should be ok.

it's a pretty good price considering you get an external wastegate, manifold and dump pipe with the package.

re: clutch - if you can find a centreforce clutch kit, i'd go for this with a sprung centre ceramic puck clutch, very streetable and offer very good clamp force.

do you have a preference for a ball-bearing turbo or it doesn't matter as you can get yourself a very nice bush-bearing turbo combo for way less than $2k.

did u speak to dennis at P.E.T?

I'd recommend you do, he'll be able to help you out with a good turbo combo for the RB25.

[Guest INASNT]

havent spoken to dennis yet, spoke briefly to another guy that can build me a garret custom 1.

[RS500]

dennis can do the same for you and i'm sure he'll be able to recommend a good garrett turbo combo to suit your needs.

Hey INASNT what mods have u got already? How much boost do u intend to run?
